SUSFENDEES TEGR BIB OVERALLS.

Application filed December 5, 1922.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, Oscars W. Lnnson, a citizen of the United States, residing at Red Wing, in the county of Goodhue and State of Minnesota. have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Suspenders for Bib Overalls: and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertaius to make and use the same.

The present invention relates to overalls and more particularly to suspending means therefor and has for its object to retain the suspenders upon the shoulders of the wearer under all conditions and prevent displacement thereof.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent and suggest themselves as the nature of the invention is understood.

While the drawing illustrates an embodiment of the invention it is to be understood that in adapting the same to meet different conditions and requirements, various changes in the form, proportion and minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the nature of the invention.

As shown in the accompanying drawing which is a perspective view of a pair of biboveralls provided with suspenders embodying the invention:

The numeral 1 designates the overalls which may be of any make, the same being provided with the usual bib 2 which extends upwardly in front of the chest to protect the clothing. A. strap 3 is attached at one end to each upper corner of the bib 2 and is made last at its opposite end to the upper corner of the rear flap of the overalls. The straps 3 are designed to engage the shoulders of the wearer and support the overalls and the bib.

A loop 4 is provided centrally of the back or the overalls midway between the points of attachment of the shoulder straps 3 thereto. An auxiliary strap 5 passes loose- 1y through the loop 4 and its ends are at- Serial No. 685,045.

tached to the rear portions of the shoulder straps 3 a ShOl'b distance from the connection of the rear ends of said straps 3 with the rear portion of the overalls. The strap 5 supplements the action of the shoulder straps 3 in supportin the overalls, and fun therinore functions as a bridle to retain the straps 3 upon the shoulders and prevent displacement thereof. The loop a provides a running action between the strap 5 and the rear portion of the overalls so that the strain may be equalized and prevent separation of the straps from each other and from the overalls.

What is claimed is:

1. A pair of overalls provided with a bib, shoulder straps connecting the upper corners of the bib with the rear portion of the overalls, and an auxiliary strap connecting the rear portions of the shoulder straps to retain the latter in position and prevent displacement from the shoulders of the wearer, said auxiliary strap having connection intermediate its ends with the bodv portion of the overalls. v

2. Overalls provided with a bib, shoulder straps connecting the upper corners of the bib with the rear portion of the overalls, and an auxiliary strap having a running connection intermediate its ends with the rear portion of the overalls and having its ends attached to the rear portion of the shoulder straps.

3. Overalls provided with a bib, shoulder straps connecting the upper corners of the bib with the rear portion of the overalls, a loop disposed centrally off the upper rear portion of the overalls and an auxiliary strap passing loosely through said loop and having its ends attached to the rear portion of the shoulder straps.

In testimony whereof I afix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
